what is this engine from??

[lord_gufi]

k i found a engine at the junk yard just chillin.. and it has a intake on it that kinda looks like a ls1's and im wondering what car is from

it looks like a 3.8, it has the same head covers and such, same fuel rail, but it looks to been a side mounted engine because of the headers wraping around the engine, so maby it was a grand ams engine?

Try a Buick Century Or Lesabre Even an Older Bonneville.They never put a 3.8 in a grand am. Sounds like a 3.8 for a FWD though.

They have a 3800 series Grand Am, maybe its from that.

Grand Prix?
don't quite know what else. The LeSabre and Century sound reasonable too.

Since when? they have a 3800 in a GRAND PRIX not a grand am.

No such thing as a 3800 in a grand am but there was a 3300 offered in the early to mid 90s in the grand am. The 3300 is just a destroked version of the 3800.

They do have a 3800 in a grandam. Sounds like a FWD 3800 motor. The newer 3.8s in all the fwd gm cars have the intake that looks like a mini ls1.

No No No, it is not a 3800 in the newer grand ams it is a 3400 (3.4).

Yes grand ams are 3.4, i think they use a 2.2 liter too for the lower models.

My bad about the 3800 series Grand Am, it was the Grand Prix.

my dad has an oldsmobile with a 3.8 FWD in it, it has the ls1 style manifold like your talking about. It's gray too. TPI
